This article discusses the CTA's proposed FY2007 budget, which relies on an extra $110 million in state subsidies that have not yet been guaranteed. It notes that although the Civic Federation supports additional funding for region's transit agencies, the Federation is "surprised and disappointed" that the budget relies on a subsidy that has not yet been approved, and recommends that the CTA take steps to eliminate some late-night service and increase fares.
